description

Monolayers of a racemic mixture and of the pure S enantiomer of 3-hexadecyloxy-propane-1,2-diol have been characterized by thermodynamic measurements at the air/water interface as well as by fluorescence microscopy. The critical temperatire T c , the limiting molecular area at high pressure and the pressure π c corresponding to the observed main phase transition, derived from the isotherms, slightly depend on chiral purity
